About

Focaccia is an Italian-style flatbread made with good quality olive oil. It may be made plain, as in my basic recipe below, or topped with all manner of wonderful toppings. I have included some of my particular favourites.

Method

Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl, stir in the yeast, then make a well in the centre of the bowl.
Pour in the warm water and 30ml of the oil, mix well adding a little more water if the mix seems too dry in texture.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
